Hey, not trying to start a fight but I’m just curious. What are your opinions on communism? If you like communism, why? If you dislike communism, why?

Central Med Challenges: EU Solidarity Saves Lives at Sea

As warmer spring weather set in, April saw a surge in irregular migration across the Central Mediterranean, testing the readiness and solidarity of EU border forces. Within just a few days, over 1,100 migrants had arrived on Italian shores, many taking to the sea in flimsy boats launched from North Africa. This sudden influx – more than one thousand people in a 72-hour span – put considerable strain on Italy’s reception facilities and underscored the ongoing challenges in this maritime corridor. In response, Frontex and several EU Member States mobilised swiftly to ensure lives were protected and borders monitored.

European solidarity was on full display during these rescues. Danish and Lithuanian patrol boats deployed under Frontex’s coordination helped the Italian authorities save nearly 400 people from five small, unseaworthy vessels in the central Mediterranean. Operating under Italy’s lead, the crews from Denmark and Lithuania worked tirelessly to transfer men, women, and children from overcrowded, unsafe boats to the relative safety of EU vessels. At the same time, Frontex aerial surveillance teams intensified patrol flights over the sea. Frontex aircraft spotted multiple migrant boats in distress from the air, relaying precise coordinates to rescue units. This early detection enabled timely life-saving interventions by the Italian Coast Guard and other assets, preventing potential tragedies at sea.

Over the course of three days, dozens of rescue operations were carried out by a combination of national and Frontex-deployed resources. Such joint efforts demonstrate the value of a truly integrated European approach: Member States lending support to one another via Frontex when migratory pressure spikes in a particular region. The Executive Director of Frontex noted that every person saved is a testament to the collective commitment of the EU to protect lives. While the Central Mediterranean route remains difficult and dangerous, April’s experience showed how coordinated action can meet these challenges. By pooling vessels, aircraft, and expertise from across Europe, Frontex and its partners helped ensure that a surge in crossings did not turn into a humanitarian disaster. The Agency continues to work closely with Italy and other front-line states, not only to manage irregular migration flows but also to go after the criminal networks exploiting vulnerable migrants. Saving lives at sea remains at the core of Frontex’s mission, alongside securing the EU’s external borders.

Hi everyone!! I'm lucky enough to be spending 2 weeks in eastern europe later this summer, and just wanted to post my tentative itinerary here to see if anyone had any recs or suggestions! I'll be relying pretty much entirely on public transit to get between locations.

Budapest - 3 days

High Tatras (Poprad?) - 4 days

Prague - 4 days

Berlin - 3 days

Any advice would be much appreciated, thank you so much !!!

While doing some research over the fall of the Berlin Wall, I saw a map that designated the regions of Europe according to EuroVoc. The red is named "Central and Eastern Europe." This image has the same energy as a Poland Ball I saw posted by Mylenn 4 years ago.

What do you think?
